You read it here first (sort of):
Perhaps it has to do with the rumor that Danubia personnel are accused of indiscriminately shooting Iraqi civilians?
And The Wall Street Journal follows, filling in the details on June 20:
Meanwhile Danubia is wrestling with another controversy. This one stems from an April clash near the Baghdad airport, in which Iraqi police personnel said Danubia security guards fired on them without provocation, killing several officers including a colonel. Danubia denies wrongdoing and says its guards were fired on first. The U.S. military is pursuing a formal investigation — separate from the one about ties to Custer Battles — and has barred Danubia from operating in the area.
The latest rumor is Danubia is now officially kicked out of Iraq. I’ve been too busy to track this all down, so congrats to Yoch and our mutual brave birds!….. (still waiting for your labor trafficking opus!)
Ok first off we were not kicked out of the country rather just the area. DGI made money working in that select area because others (smarter companies) stayed away from it. All contracts DGI had were in the Western Anbar Province, so if we are banned in that area then there is no reason to keep us around. And also one more thing i was in the vehicle that was ingaged by Iraq police officers, stop and think Fallujia is a meesed up city and thats where it happend. After the IED they stood and laughed, then on the way out they open fired on us with close to 20 others…
